I need help/opinions/suggestions with how to properly conceal under eye circles.
The bf's mom has really dark undereye circles. She said she's always had them (genetics), but as she got older she says they have gotten darker. I finally had her sit down and see what I could do as far as concealing them with makeup, and for the most part, I think I did a decent job. Only problem is, since she's older, to really cover the circles, I really had to use a lot of product. I liked the way it looked in the pictures, but I felt like in person, it was to cakey. Do I make sense? I want it to look natural in person, not obvious that she is trying to hide something.
I used yellow neutralizer from Ben Nye under her eyes, applied Cinema Secrets Cream Foundation, and then went over it again with MAC studio finish concealer. Should I have used a different color for the neutralizer? Maybe orange? Maybe the neutralizer is too dry and I should mix some lotion into to give it a creamier texture?
Here are the before and after pics. Lighting is different since I started out doing her makeup with natural light and then it got too dark. I would really appreciate any feedback and suggestions on what to use. Thanks!!

I told her she will be my project until I get this figured out lol.
